FIRST Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos addressed claims made by former Ako Bicol party-list representative Zaldy Co, who linked her name to an alleged cartel in the onion and rice trade.
“While some may choose theatrics, I’d rather focus on teaching future lawyers how the law truly works — where truth is the standard and proof is the language we live by,” the First Lady said.
Her statement came after Co also dragged her brother into allegations of rice and onion smuggling.
Araneta-Marcos dismissed Co’s remarks as “drama” but did not elaborate.
She also took the opportunity to commend her students, saying they continued to show up prepared for class despite storms, earthquakes, and even fake bomb threats in Iloilo City this semester.
